i hate digger and i love how much i hate digger. i am going to see the movie again in two days with more friends. it is climate change freddy got fingered

'Digger' review
The first 20 minutes of the film set up a brilliant comedy that skewers our modern lives today. And then it spends about 2 hours making us feel awful for thinking the first 20 minutes were good, on purpose, over and over again. It is a joyless, colorless film that poorly parodies Citizen Kane and Dr.
Strangelove intentionally, making a mockery of essentially all modern American liberal political commentary and comedy. And a parody of a parody is interesting but uncomfortable and challenging to watch.

A parody of Donald Trump today is neither funny nor poignant and the movie knows that. By the film's conclusion, you're left wondering whether spending big budgets to make climate films at all makes any sense. It
would be reductive as well to say the film inspires you to take on the actual
catastrophe outside, because its so confident in its future of doom that really, you're only left with a wordless unease about the idea of apocalypse fiction itself. To watch "Digger" is to experience a deeply miserable punk rock waste of more than one hundred million dollars, à la Freddy Got Fingered - but you will not laugh, unless you're laughing at yourself for being in the theater at all.

I enjoyed Digger, and then I hated Digger, and then I enjoyed hate-watching Digger, and then I felt weird because the movie flat out told me to feel disgusting for enjoying hate-watching Digger, and to like hating myself, and I didn't want to listen to that part, and that's the point. Andy Kaufman couldn't have done it better. The Wolf of Wall Street tried to pull this trick and failed. Vice and Don't Look Up both tried to pull this trick and failed. So many other meta-media films have tried to do this recently and they're boring because they are entertaining. Digger is so boring, and frustrating, and uncomfortable, and that's why it works, and I hate that, too, which I also love.

Digger will be a massive commercial flop and then go to streaming where it'll be remembered as a cult classic forever. I will watch this movie again and again, and I will find new things to hate to love and love to hate. I couldn't recommend it more highly to anyone who wants to see a piece of ridiculous high-budget avant garde mistakenly promoted as a mass appeal "dark comedy" because it stars Tom Cruise. And yet even the inaccurate PR is part of the point of Digger, to reel you in with precisely the bait it wants to chide you for taking.

The Butcher was a highlight of pandemic era AEW. The Falls Count Anywhere match with the Bucks and the Bunkhouse Match with Dustin and QT were both matches that stand out from 2020 more than almost anything else. On top of that he was a guy who just knew how to look entertaining.

An employe at McMahon's company, WWE was accused of systematically sexually assaulting vulnerable boys who worked at the company. McMahon persuaded them not to sue, and told one she would support his education. When his grades dropped, she stopped paying tuition support. He later killed himself.

In 1992, Cole, then twenty-one years old, and another ring boy told the San Diego Union-Tribune that Phillips had molested them. They said that he groped their feet for hours at a time. (Phillips would lock the kids into wrestling holds.) Sometimes he rubbed their feet on his penis. (Later, other ring boys alleged that Phillips had forced them into oral sex, ejaculated on them, and attempted to have penetrative sex with them; the McMahons have denied knowledge of the actions.) Cole later accused a W.W.E. executive named Pat Patterson of groping his butt, and an executive named Terry Garvin of turning on pornography and asking to perform oral sex on Cole during a work conversation.

When the story broke, the three men left the company. According to one account, the McMahons let Patterson go personally, at the mansion, and both Vince and Linda cried. (Patterson was reinstated soon afterward.) Vince held a series of damage-control phone calls with Phil Mushnick, a sports writer with the New York Post. Mushnick later testified in a deposition that Vince told him, “We had known for some time that Mel had a peculiar and unnatural interest and attachment to children.” Vince said that they’d fired Phillips before, years earlier, but had subsequently rehired him “out of the goodness of our hearts.” He framed this as a joint decision: “We brought him back with the caveat that he steer clear of children.”

Cole threatened to sue the company. At a meeting with the McMahons in New York to discuss a settlement, Cole’s attorney left the room several times, leaving him alone with the McMahons. Cole recollected that Linda seemed compassionate. “I thought having her present and a mother’s instincts were invaluable,” the company’s longtime lawyer, Jerry McDevitt, later said. Cole said she told him that she believed him, and that she wanted to help. He remembered her saying, “I consider you in a sense like a son. I want to look at it that way. I want you to come to me with your problems.” Cole opened up. At a later meeting at W.W.E. headquarters, according to Cole, the McMahons sought the names of other potential accusers with whom he, along with his brother Lee, was communicating. At the McMahons’ coaxing, he gave them access to his brother’s answering machine. (Vince denies this.) His lawyer had sought a monetary settlement, but Cole, who’d left the company, said that he just wanted his job back. The McMahons agreed, and also gave him fifty thousand dollars in back pay. Linda McMahon and Cole also made a separate agreement: he’d be paid as an employee but would return to school, as McMahon wanted. “I talked to this young man as I would my son, and told him how supportive of him we would be,” she later recounted. He signed a document that she’d prepared, agreeing that his employment was contingent on his academics.

As the journalist David Bixenspan, who has reported on the ring-boy allegations, has detailed, Cole enrolled at a community college. McMahon corresponded with his professors. Cole found that he was still traumatized by the abuse and had a hard time concentrating. He asked McMahon if he could drop out and resume working for the company. She told him to stick with it. Cole stopped attending class. He failed. His transcript was sent to McMahon. “I was very disappointed in your performance,” she wrote to him. “At this point we believe that we have done everything we can. Therefore, this letter is to advise you of your termination with Titan Sports, effective immediately.” She concluded, “The opportunity of a lifetime is a terrible thing to waste.”
